Growing Older Is Not Such A Big

Blackness Is A State Of Mind And I Identify With The Black Community. Mainly, Because I Realized, Early On, When I Walk Into A Room, People See A Black Woman, They Don't See A White Women. So Out Of That Reason Alone, I Identify More With The Black Community.

Throughout My Career I Have Been Talked Out Of Things I Wanted To Do, And When I Look Back, I Think I Should Have Followed My Instincts.

I Can't Imagine My Life Without Animals. I Have Two Dogs And Three Cats. Coming Home And Finding Them All Lined Up At The Door Waiting For Me Has Got To Be One Of The Sweetest Joys Of My Life.

During Really Difficult Times In My Life When I Start Questioning Why I Am Struggling With Something, I Often Turn To Books To Understand Myself Better.

Growing Older Is Not Such A Big Deal For Me, Despite The Fears That Older Actresses Have In Hollywood. When I Hit 40, For Example, I Didn't Feel 40 - Or Whatever That Is Supposed To Feel Like.
